Excuses, so many valid ones too. So many reasons not to, but understand that how we run ourselves is how we run our businesses… Chatting with Maranda Joiner, she reminded me that entrepreneurs need self-care too!
When I watched Self Made, the show about Madam CJ Walker, I watched how she worked herself to death. Sure, making sure your business is running successfully, but I have to wonder if she took time to take care of herself, would she have lived a longer life? Would she be able to enjoy the fruits of her labor? Sure, she left a legacy, but her life was cut short because she did not take care of self. I am like entrepreneurs need self-care too!
I don’t buy into the idea of, “I will rest when I die” motto because, for one, life is already short. When you add the stressors of job, life, and other things, that eats away at our time as well.
I had the chance to talk with Maranda Joiner, a Brand Strategist and just an amazing woman with so much knowledge. We chatted a lot about branding, self-care, and more. Check out the interview below.
What are some ways you practice self-care as a business owner? Let me know in the comments below!

BIO:
I would love to get to know you and your business better. However, first, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I believe with all my heart that I was called to impact lives. It took me a while to figure out just how, but now that I have found my ‘niche’ I am full steam ahead. I can help bring any story to life. I’m a Jackson, MS native, and I worked as an on-air radio personality at 99JAMSWJMI for almost fifteen years. For over six years, I have curated and hosted an open mic experience called Synergy Nights. I have also consulted and served as the brand manager for talent, placing them in a position to perform at Essence, on Comedy Central and TruTV. Let’s build a brand you love together.
